Postal Letter

How do I apply for a post office job WITHOUT paying fees up front?

Many ads that I have responded to for postal jobs require a valid credit card or checking account to pay upwards of 150 bucks to start testing to apply for a job. If anyone knows of how I can apply properly, please let me know. Only genuine and mature responses please. Thank you. I agree with "rtfm" that it is common sense to check the local post office but on the contrary, I have and they gave me the stupid 1-800 number that you have to pay to take the test.

1. It doesn't cost anything to take the test to apply for a job with the USPS. Anyone who tells you it does is trying to scam you. To apply for a job with the USPS -- start at the USPS site: http://www.usps.com/employment/welcome.htm Or you could just go in to your local Post Office and ask them about application procedures. They'll have information about when the next test is coming up in your local area.
2. The answer from "rtfm" is 100% correct - the problem is that lots of people want those usps jobs, and when they get them, they stay for long periods, making it difficult to find vacancies
3. First you should see if the job is for you. Walk up and down the streets of your city and put random notes and "letters" that you made up yourself in people's mailboxes. Say hi to all the nice doggies. Also go register for a gun permit and sign up for shooting lessons.
4. You do not have to pay for anything to take USPS exam. USPS used to let public taking test every 4 years. Now you could online to check out the opening for your location. Your chance of getting hire is good if your score is 90% or greater. Don't be scare about the score. You could pick up the practice exam at local book store Postal Exams: 470 battery exams. Entry level Exam. Now go to postal website and register to take the exam. If you want to move. It is your best chance to register to location you want to move. After your registration, they send you a letter for the date and time for the exam. Usually 3-4 weeks from the date letter send. Now you could buy the book to practice the exam. AFter you took the exam, they send you the score and put you on the roster. If your score is high, your chance getting call for interview is high. Good Luck to you.
